Feature Request: Granular Email Notification Controls for Job Applications

Problem Statement

Currently, email notifications for job applications can only be turned on/off globally for ALL employers/users. This creates two problems:

When enabled: All users receive every application notification, causing email overload

When disabled: No one gets notified, potentially causing missed applications

Current State

❌ Global on/off switch only

❌ No targeting of specific recipients

❌ No frequency control options

❌ No job-level customisation

User Story

As an employer/hiring manager, I want granular control over who receives job application notifications and how frequently, so that relevant team members stay informed without overwhelming everyone with irrelevant emails.

Acceptance Criteria

Replace Global Controls with Granular Options:

Remove current all-or-nothing global setting

Add per-job notification recipient selection

Add per-user notification preferences

Recipient Targeting:

Default notifications to job creator only

Allow adding specific team members per job

Support role-based recipients (e.g., "all hiring managers")

Frequency Controls:

Individual email per application

Daily digest (all applications from past 24 hours)

Weekly digest

Disable notifications entirely (per user/per job)

Migration Strategy:

For existing jobs: Default to current behaviour initially, allow opt-in to new controls

Provide bulk update tool for existing job postings

Business Impact

Reduces support complaints about email overload

Prevents missed applications from blanket disabling

Improves employer satisfaction and platform stickiness
